China Liberal Receives Recognition and Recommendation by Industry Experts for Its All-in-one Teaching Machine AI-Space - PRNewswire

As liberals shy away from the word "woke," the media has blamed Republicans negative use of the term for its downfall. What actually happened to "woke" may be more complicated, and cause problems for Democrats in coming elections.

After the results of the Virginia election, Democrat strategist James Carville blamed "stupid wokeness" for his partys disappointing loss. In an interview with PBS Newshour, the long-time Democrat strategist said that some of his partys ultra-progressive policies had a "suppressive effect across the country on Democrats."

"Some of these people need to go to a woke detox center or something," he added.

DEMOCRAT STRATEGIST JAMES CARVILLE: WHAT WENT WRONG IN VIRGINIA ELECTION WAS STUPID WOKENESS

New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took a different approach, saying Democrats' losses on election day were due to "trying to run a fully 100% super moderated campaign."

When Ocasio-Cortezs comments were branded as advocating for "woke" policies, she balked, tweeting "How can news outlets even attribute words to me I didnt say? Said nothing abt wokeness which is a term almost exclusively used by older people these days btw."

Despite her and other Democrats' current disdain for the word, New York-based writer David Marcus said being woke was once seen by the left as a positive thing. "You go back 12, 13 years it was definitely something that people on the left would use in an approving way," he said in an interview with Fox News Digital.

DONALD TRUMP BROKE THE WOKE STRANGLEHOLD ON OUR COUNTRY, AND ON US

But as the comments from Ocasio-Cortez and Carville illustrate, that is no longer the case, and the media is blaming Republicans for the terms downfall.

As far back as 2018, an NPR opinion said it was time to put the word "woke" to sleep due to the "muddling" of the definition.

"Words that begin with a very specific meaning, used by a very specific group of people, over time become shorthand for our politics, and eventually move from shorthand to linguistic weapon. Or in the case of woke, a linguistic eye-roll," the piece read.

A New York Times columnist declared that "Republicans want to recast wokeness as progressive politics run amok," saying the term "has been referred to in the most hyperbolic language imaginable, from ideology to religion to cult."

"No wonder young people are abandoning the word," the piece continued. "Opponents to the idea are seeking to render it toxic."

A New York Times columnist claimed Republicans are trying to recast wokeness.

A piece in The Guardian sought to explain "How the word woke was weaponized by the right," saying the word is "used as a stick often wielded by those who dont recognize how un-woke they are, or are proud of the fact."

A Washington Post columnist claimed "the word woke once meant something, kind of. But now its just an empty, all-purpose insult hurled by conservative propagandists, anti-vaccine fabulists, lazy journalists and people who dont want to know our history."

I'M A CONSERVATIVE IMMIGRANT READY TO CHALLENGE THE WOKE LEFT - AND NO, I WON'T GO HOME

Despite the medias claims, Marcus told Fox News Digital the lefts disavowal of the word had to do with "so many excesses," and the "commoditization of the concept."

"There are all of these companies whose job it is to go into schools and corporations and do these anti-racist woke trainings," he said. "I just think that the term has become associated with something that a lot of people now see as corrupt or involved with some sort of perverse interests in terms of the money that can be made through it."

Marcus cited research done by Manhattan Institute senior fellow and City Journal contributing editor Christopher Rufo, who has written extensively about the infiltration of progressive training and policies into corporate America.

Rufo has brought attention to corporations like AT&T and Walmart for their policies, including White employees at AT&T being "tacitly expected to confess their complicity in white privilege' and systematic racism" or be "penalized in their performance reviews.

CHRISTOPHER RUFO: WALMART VS. WHITENESS - HOURLY EMPLOYEES GUILTY OF INTERNALIZED RACIAL SUPERIORITY

Walmart, according to internal documents Rufo obtained from a whistleblower, "launched a critical race theory training program that denounces the United States as a white supremacy system and teaches White, hourly wage employees that they are guilty of white supremacy thinking and internalized racial superiority."

These findings are part of the left wanting to get away from the term woke, Marcus said, but despite the media's push to stop use of the word it will be an issue for Democrats in the 2022 midterm elections and beyond.

"I think that especially people who are running in tighter races are going to have to address the excesses. Theyre going to have to find a middle ground," he said. "If the Democrats dont find a way to address this and reel it back in a little bit, I think theyre going to be in trouble."

What happened to woke: Liberal media blame Republicans for the term's downfall - Fox News

OTTAWA After getting off to an arguably slow start since winning re-election on Sept. 20, Justin Trudeau's Liberal government appears poised to go into hyperdrive with next week's resumption of Parliament.

OTTAWA After getting off to an arguably slow start since winning re-election on Sept. 20, Justin Trudeau's Liberal government appears poised to go into hyperdrive with next week's resumption of Parliament.

The Liberals promised more than a dozen initiatives in their election platform including the introduction or reintroduction of at least eight bills within the first 100 days of a new mandate.

That 100-day clock started ticking on Oct. 26 as soon as the prime minister's new cabinet was sworn in.

The government will have lost almost 30 days by the time the new session of Parliament opens next Monday.

And it will have only 24 sitting days in which to get things done in the House of Commons before the clock runs out on Feb. 3 with the first two days essentially lost since they must be devoted to electing a Speaker and delivering a throne speech.

The Commons is scheduled to sit for only four weeks before breaking for the holiday season on Dec. 17, and MPs won't return until Jan. 31.

If the Liberals intend to keep their promises for the first 100 days and they insist they do that spells a crammed legislative agenda for the few weeks the House will be sitting before the new year.

"We have a very aggressive agenda to get to in the coming weeks and thats what were focused on," government House leader Mark Holland said last week following the Liberals' first post-election caucus meeting.

In addition to the eight platform-promised bills to be introduced by Feb. 3, the government is also preparing legislation to deal with two pandemic-related issues that weren't specifically mentioned in the platform.

The first would implement last month's announcement on more targeted emergency aid benefits for individuals and sectors hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Holland indicated top priority will be given to passing that bill as quickly as possible.

Holland also signalled that priority will be put on passing a bill to impose criminal sanctions on anyone who blocks access to vaccine clinics, hospitals, testing centres and abortion clinics. It would also target anyone who intimidates or harasses health care workers, keeping a promise made by Trudeau as anti-vaccination protests ramped up during the campaign.

"Right now we want to make sure ... that we dont see what happened before where health care professionals who are trying to be on the frontlines of this battle are dealing with protesters and being menaced by that," said Holland.

Privately, government officials are hopeful that opposition parties will recognize the urgency to swiftly pass those two bills, as they've done in the past with other pandemic-related legislation.

Because they hold only a minority of seats in the Commons, the Liberals will need the support of at least one opposition party to pass legislation or to limit debate and force a vote on a bill.

In a minority House, an opposition party can drag out debate for weeks simply by putting up more speakers and running out the clock. It can also impede the government agenda by deploying procedural delaying tactics.

The Conservatives routinely did both in the last Parliament, which was also a Liberal minority, on matters unrelated to the pandemic.

Only towards the end of last spring's sitting did the NDP and Bloc Quebecois support the Liberals in imposing closure to cut off debate and force votes on a couple of priority bills to ban conversion therapy and regulate web giants but that came too late to get the bills through the Senate before the summer break and both died once Trudeau called an election in August.

Nevertheless, the government has signalled it's hoping this time that relatively quick progress can be made on at least two of the bills that the platform pledged to introduce within 100 days.

One would provide 10 days of paid sick leave for federally regulated workers, a measure triggered by the pandemic.

The other would be a reintroduced bill to ban the traumatizing practice of forcing a person to undergo "conversion therapy" aimed at altering their sexual orientation or gender identity. Although Conservatives spun out debate on the ban last time and more than half of them voted against it, it is strongly supported by all other parties.

Other promised bills could take a lot longer than 100 days to jump through all the legislative hoops. They include legislation to:

Regulate foreign web giants to ensure they contribute to the creation and promotion of Canadian stories and music. A bill on this issue tabled in the last session proved controversial, with critics claiming it would wind up regulating what individuals post on social media.

Require digital platforms to share revenues from news content they post with the Canadian news outlets that create it.

Strengthen the Official Languages Act and introduce an Act for Substantive Equality of French and English.

Combat online hate, including hate speech, terrorist content, incitement to violence, child sexual abuse and non-consensual distribution of intimate images. Among other things, that would include making social media platforms accountable for the content they host.

Reform the criminal justice system to address the disproportionate incarceration of Black and Indigenous people. That includes elimination of mandatory minimum sentences for less serious crimes and greater use of conditional sentences, such as house arrest, counselling or treatment, for people who do not pose a threat to public safety.

Safeguard Canada's critical infrastructure, including 5G networks, to preserve the integrity and security of national telecommunications systems.

The platform also commits the government to a host of other non-legislative tasks within 100 days, including appointing a new federal housing advocate, holding a summit on restarting cultural industries, convening with provinces and territories to develop a national plan to legislate paid sick leave across the country, and launching a procurement process for development of a high frequency rail corridor between Toronto and Quebec City.

Voters are at beginning to see the costs of Canadas left-wing, anti-natural resource policies

Publishing date:

Im not sure how popular bowling is these days, but my wife and I went recently and had a great time. There might even be real-life lessons one can glean from the game like the reset button.

This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

Thats the button you push to reset the pins to their original position. It is quite the opposite of the great reset advocated by our newly re-elected minority Liberal government and others on the left. In that context, it means resetting things to a completely different order.

The great reset is a slogan that aspires to some new world order without Canadian mining, Canadian oil and natural gas and other CO2-emitting industries. The great reset will be so great, in fact, that we will not only be forced to get by without reliable base load energy and resource sector jobs, but thanks to the magic of government, income inequality will be a thing of our dark Darwinian past.

According to this narrative, this reset will be the natural follow-up to the pandemic. And its advocates may be right about that, as there does seem to be a global reset currently underway. And to the extent that it represents unprecedented economic opportunities for Canadas natural resources, agriculture and manufacturing sectors, it could indeed be described as great.

This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

In a recent Bloomberg interview, Goldman Sachs global head of commodities research, Jeff Currie, talked about a different kind of reset, in which, Poor returns saw capital redirected away from the old economy to the new economy. Its not unique to Europe. Its not unique to energy. Its a broad-based old-economy problem.

Currie explains that, This is the first inning of a multi-year, potentially decade-long commodity supercycle. Its driven by the war on climate change, the war on income inequality. All of these dynamics lead to a structural rise in commodity demand against this whole idea of the revenge of the old economy.

This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

The evidence in support of what Currie is forecasting is all around us: high gasoline prices, higher grocery bills, general inflation increases and an attendant upward pressure on interest rates. Rising costs of food, gas and other consumer goods, combined with higher interest rates, seems incongruous to the pursuit of income equality, doesnt it? Especially given the disproportionate pain that will be visited on middle- and lower-income households.

As this supercycle gets underway, it will create economic opportunities for western Canada, a prolific source of oil, fertilizer, lumber and agriculture, and there will be a lot less patience on the part of voters for federal policies that both exacerbate the increasing cost of living and interfere with Canadas ability to take advantage of the increased commodity prices.

This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

There are signs that all of this is already confounding those who have advocated for a great reset. Take U.S. President Joe Biden, who, just before telling those assembled in Glasgow at COP26 about how the United States was back in the fight against climate change, was begging OPEC to increase production, to help provide gasoline price relief for his citizens.

Maybe voters themselves are at the very beginning of another reset one in which they begin to see the costs of Canadas left-wing, anti-natural resource policies, including skyrocketing inflation, shortages of consumer goods and higher interest rates. They will soon feel, if they are not already, the negative impact of a federal government that is not only lacks interest in monetary policy, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau famously confessed during the election, but lacks focus on economic matters.

This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

Maybe Canadians will demand their own great reset. A reset back to a focus on the fundamentals: the economy, monetary policy, international trade and sustainable natural resource extraction, along with a focus on opportunities in the new economy, such as green energy.

After all, a strong economy, and all the taxes it provides, is the most progressive societal force of all. It provides not only economic opportunities for the next generation of Canadians, but also funds all the government programs and supports that we prize.

Voters may also conclude that there is not much that is progressive about policies that increase the cost of living such as interest rate hikes and sky-high carbon taxes which make it harder for middle- and lower-income Canadians to afford food and shelter, never mind quality-of-life essentials such as access to post-secondary education and quality health care.

Those who advocate for the policies that are helping to usher in a commodities supercycle and increasing the cost of living might in fact learn a lot from a night of bowling. Theyd have fun, of course, and they could also benefit from the lesson as to what a reset might actually means.

Brad Wall: Nothing progressive about Liberal policies hiking the cost of living - National Post

Conservatives political messages on social media reach neutral voters better than those of their liberal counterparts through plain emotional expressions and friendlier interactions, according to a survey.

A team of researchers from the Toyohashi University of Technology, the University of Tokyo and the City University of Hong Kong found that supporters of Shinzo Abe, a conservative former prime minister, had better success than critics of Abe in sharing their views on Twitter with a wider range of people.

This may be among the reasons for the prolonged reign of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, a team member said.

According to the researchers, voters personal likings of politicians can affect the level of support for their policies.

Past studies have shown that sympathy for a prime minister can greatly sway the political stances of Japanese voters.

The team analyzed 130 million posts that contained the word Abe in katakana and kanji on Twitter from February 2019, when Abe was prime minister, through October 2020 immediately following his resignation.

After examining accounts that were prone to retweet the same posts, the team identified two large networks of Twitter users: those who supported Abe and those critical of him.

A member of one network tweeted, for example, Thank you for your long and hard work, Prime Minister Abe. A member of the other network described Abe and lawmaker Taro Aso as the worst prime minister and deputy prime minister in the postwar period.

The team categorized accounts that posted aggressively in both of the networks as either conservative or liberal voters.

The others who uploaded messages less frequently were deemed nonpartisan and moderate.

The teams analysis showed that 23 percent of posts by the conservative userswere retweetedto the neutral group. The retweet ratio was as low as 6 percent for the liberal groups messages.

A closer examination of the posts found that the words anger, hatred and other emotional phrases appeared more frequently in the conservative comments than in the liberal remarks.

Emotional words are said to help information go viral.

In their comments about current affairs and other issues, the conservatives tended to use colloquial adjectives that resembled those of the moderate posters, the study found.

If a moderate user followed an account, conservatives followed back in 62 percent of the cases, compared with 51 percent for liberals, the study found.

Liberals looking to push forward their social movement with citizens should pay attention (to the study results) so that they can form connections with those who have different political opinions, said team member Mitsuo Yoshida, a former assistant professor at the Toyohashi University of Technology who is now an associate professor of computational social science at the University of Tsukuba.

But, at least in the social media study, such acts were detected more often among conservatives, he said.

The findings have been published in the scientific journal Scientific Reports at (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-98349-2)

Ms Giles-Gidney, Mr James and Ms Sloane addressed the Willoughby state electoral conference meeting on Thursday night, which is likely to be the final one attended by Ms Berejiklian while she is still the sitting member.

The former premier spoke at the meeting, held at the Armenian Cultural Centre, but did not endorse a candidate. She told party members that she trusted the people of the Willoughby conference to make their own decision about the best candidate.

Ms Berejiklian, who stood down as premier on October 1 when the Independent Commission Against Corruption announced its inquiry into her, has not yet resigned from NSW Parliament and a date has not been set for the Willoughby preselection.

Senior moderate Liberals say the party is keen to avoid a three-horse race and would prefer that Ms Giles-Gidney, the moderates preferred option, be the only candidate.

Ms Berejiklians desire to see Ms Giles-Gidney succeed her will boost the mayors chances because the former premier is still very popular in Willoughby, according to the Liberal sources.

But as part of Mr Bastiaans defamation claim, he has denied the allegations and said he never breached the Liberal Party constitution.

Mr Bastiaan said Nines reports had portrayed him as corrupt and asserted he may have committed a criminal offence.

He has also been subjected to hatred, ridicule and contempt following the reports, court documents allege.

On Tuesday, Mr Wilson criticised Nine for filing its defence documents weeks late and just days before another segment on the matter was broadcast on current affairs program 60 Minutes, alongside fresh articles in newspapers.

Mr Wilson questioned whether this was done to allow McKenzie more time to make further investigations, door-stopping and harassing a witness, and flagged that further action would probably be taken to restrain McKenzie from approaching witnesses.

We say it is wrong when you have a party to the proceeding using his journalistic position to go out and actually pressure people who have already been named as witnesses in the proceeding, Mr Wilson said. With a view to put pressure on Mr Bastiaan to resolve the case.

Mr Mukerjea dismissed the allegations as false and said they amounted to accusations of contempt of court and an abuse of process, and singled out McKenzie who is one of the countrys most decorated journalists.

The allegations are vehemently denied, Mr Mukerjea said.

Justice Besanko said the latest allegations were only aired orally and would not be dealt with unless evidence and appropriate documentation was submitted to the court.

Mr Wilson, thats your allegation, but Im not determining the merits of these matters this morning, he said.

Outside the hearing, McKenzie denied harassing witnesses and said The Age and Sydney Morning Herald would continue to hold politicians on both sides to account.

Trying to door-stop politicians about serious allegations is fundamental to ensuring our democracy is appropriately oversighted, and our lawyers will continue to resist efforts to stop investigative journalism from shining a light, he said.

Mr Bastiaan resigned from the Liberal Party last year.

The matter will return to court in December.

Federal Court dismisses bid to prevent reporting on alleged abuse of public resources - Sydney Morning Herald

KARIN Kirkpatrick, Opposition Critic for Children, Family Development and Childcare, on Monday kept pressing the government to listen to many heartbroken parents, who are furious about the NDPs top-down approach and callous announcement to end direct autism funding by 2025.

The BC Liberals said they had received numerous emails from families and advocates expressing serious concerns for the lack of transparency, information and consultation regarding the decision. They added that such a dramatic change would take away the well-established supports and relationships that took many years to build, while creating another waitlist for families to compete with each other for already scarce resources and services.

Kirkpatrick stressed that parents should not be removed from the decision-making process when it comes to the care of their children, especially children with support needs. They want and rightfully deserve choices and direct involvement. It is time for the NDP to show some respect and stop the clawback of the autism funding, she said.
